Hi Greg, Again, thanks for all your help. I was able to get VBOX NAT networking working... However, now I am trying to get "host networking" to work - Which I am having problems right now. For my purpose, it seems I will prefer to use Host Networking as I was external sites to hit servers inside VBOX and I don't want to use port forwarding. As I understand, Host Networking is the way to go for this.
One thing I'd like to get clarify for me is: Is Host Networking the same as Bridging or they work together. I know in VMware there's Bridging and there's Host Networking and they are separate setups. If anyone can clarify this for me would be great. Here's what I've done so far to try and get Host Networking to work: 1) I created a "VBOX Host interface" in the VOBX GUI. 2) Selected to attach to "host interface" in drop down text. 3) For interface name, I selected the VBOX host interface1 - that I created in step1. 4) I enabled (checked) the "enable network adapter and Cable Connected" check boxes. 5) Per VBOX doc, on my host machine I noticed the "VBOX Host Interface" I created via GUI. 6) I selected both the VBOX Host Interface and my LAN network interface on host machine and right click to create a network bridge - Network bridge is created. 7) I selected the properties on the network bridge and configured it for IP settins similar to my host LAN network interface (with a different IP on same network or subnet). 8) Booted my linux guess machine and changed network settings from DHCP to static and configured IP to be on same subnet as host and the bridge interface. That's it, based on above I can't ping or access internet as I was when setup for NAT/DHCP. Question: Does ping not work also using the host interface configurations? >From guess machine, I gave it a gateway of my linksys similar to how my host network adapter is setup. I think this should be right since bridging the guess just adds another host on the bridge network. Please help with anything I may have done wrong or overlooked.
